Chapter 9 Zhao Sheng
Shortly after the end of the Longtai meeting, a carriage pulled by two horses slowly drove out of the palace gate, this carriage was gorgeously decorated, the horses pulling the carriage were pure white, coupled with the posture of dozens of guards next to the carriage, at a glance it was the car of a certain dignitary.
The middle-aged man with a big belly and luxurious clothes in the carriage was Zhao Xiangbang and Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, who had just finished a meeting with Zhao Dan.
Handan City is actually divided into two parts, one part is the palace city in the southwest, and the other part is the Guocheng city in the northeast.
Now that the meeting has ended, Zhao Sheng is leaving from Miyagi and heading towards Guocheng, because there is still some distance between Miyagi and Guocheng, so Zhao Sheng is used to thinking about some problems that have just arisen on the way through these miles of carriage.
"I always feel that there seems to be something wrong with the king..." Zhao Sheng touched his long beard, and his eyes shone with a hint of essence.
Although he is often criticized for short-sightedness in history, it must be admitted that Pingyuan Jun, who has served as a minister for a long time in both the Zhao Huiwen and Zhao Xiaocheng dynasties, has a very high political sensitivity.
Regarding Zhao Dan, who is both a nephew and a monarch, Zhao Sheng thinks that he knows better. Zhao Dan's disadvantage is that he can't hold his breath, and his ears are soft, but Zhao Dan also has an advantage, that is, as long as he makes a decision, he will unswervingly stick to it.
According to this reasoning, since Zhao Dan has appointed Zhao Sheng as the prime minister, then the Gong faction should win a big victory next, Lian Po should be replaced, and Zhao Kuo should be able to take office.
But that's not the case, today's Zhao Dan uncharacteristically rejected Zhao Kuo's appointment, and even proposed to cut the land and ask for food, which is completely a posture of supporting the cloth faction.
first put the head of the Gong clan faction in the phase, and then completely rejected the proposal of the Gong clan faction in the meeting, this method of giving a sweet date and then slapping it should not be something that Zhao Dan can play at all.
"What does the king want?" Zhao Sheng couldn't help but shake his head, feeling a little headache.
Until he returned home, Zhao Sheng didn't get an answer.
After returning to the mansion, Zhao Sheng remembered Zhao Dan's instructions at the meeting before, so he sent someone to call Mao Sui.
After a while, a middle-aged man in plain clothes came to Zhao Sheng and saluted respectfully: "Chen Mao has seen the king. ”
Zhao Sheng squinted his eyes and looked at this hair carefully, looking left and right, but he couldn't see what was outstanding.
As one of the Four Gentlemen of the Warring States, Zhao Sheng, the Plain Jun, like the other three sons, liked to raise soldiers.
The class of "scholars" was a very special existence during the Warring States period.
It is the lowest existence in the aristocratic system of the Zhou Dynasty, and there is almost no glory or status at all in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Of course, after all, scholars are also members of the aristocracy, so they still have a great advantage over commoners, that is, most scholars can read and write.
In this era when the illiteracy rate is over 95 percent, just being able to read and write is already a skill.
Since there was no mechanism for selecting talents from all over the world at this time, scholars who wanted to stand out inevitably had to strive for fame and the appreciation of big names, so that they could have the opportunity to step onto a bigger stage.
And a big man like Pingyuan Jun also hopes to get a better reputation by recruiting these scholars, and he can also select some talents from these scholars for his own use.
There are several kinds of scholars, including scholars, alchemists, strategists, warlocks, and so on, but this is nothing but an ordinary diner.
Mao Sui has been a diner for three years, and he has no reputation at all, which usually proves that he is just a mixed meal.
But if it's really just a guy who eats mixed rice, then why did the monarch Zhao Dan just name this Mao and follow Yu Xin to the state of Chu to persuade the king of Chu to finish? That doesn't make sense.
To Zhao Sheng's surprise, Mao Sui actually spoke first.
"The minister heard that the general was going to Daliang, and the minister wanted to go with the king, I don't know if it was possible?"
As a doorman who is not being paid attention to, let alone a separate summon like today, even if he wants to say a few words to the lord Zhao Sheng on weekdays, he is not qualified, so he naturally will not miss this opportunity today.
Zhao Sheng's eyes turned, and he was scheming, why not take this test? So he said: "How many years has Mr. been here?" ”
Mao Sui said: "Three years here. ”
Zhao Sheng said again: "The place of the wise man is also in the world, such as the place where the cone is in the bag, and the end is immediately seen." Mr. Jin's victory has been here for three years, and there is no praise for the left and right, and the victory has not been heard, and Mr. has nothing to do. Mr. can't, sir stays. ”
What Zhao Sheng means by this sentence is that this man's ability is like the "murder weapon" under the crotch when he is stripped naked and only wearing a tight small interior, if you really "live well", then when your "murder weapon" is bulging, it is very straight, very inflated, very tall, very straight, and very conspicuous, and everyone can see it.
And if you are not enough to "work well", then your "murder weapon" will not react to it (because it is too short and too small), you have been with me for three years, and I have never heard of anyone who has praised your murder weapon (talent), so it can be seen that you are not good enough to live well, so you should not go.
Mao Sui smiled slightly and said, "The minister is pleasing to be in the bag today." So that the fleas can be put in the bag, and Nai Ying comes out, which is not the last thing to see. ”
Mao Sui also said, it's not that my words are bad, it's just that I was wearing clothes before and didn't show my "murder weapon", if you give me a chance to show my "murder weapon" (talent), then I won't let you down.
Zhao Sheng's eyebrows were raised slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he said in his heart: "This hair seems to be really extraordinary." ”
You must know that Zhao Sheng is the prime minister of Zhao State, one person is above 10,000 people, which is equivalent to a big man like the prime minister of the Huaxia Dynasty in later generations, and he has a very heavy official authority.
Ordinary diners were submissive when they saw Zhao Sheng, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads and couldn't speak clearly, let alone talk like Mao Sui.
If nothing else, let's just say that in the Huaxia Dynasty two thousand years later, how many people were able to be calm and calm in front of the prime minister, and they spoke in an orderly manner?
Based on these words alone, it proves that Mao Sui is at least a person with some ability.
Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng was a little depressed, because although it was proved that Mao Sui could be used, Zhao Sheng had promised his own monarch Zhao Dan before that he would lend Mao Sui to Yu Xin to envoy to Chu.
If he said the water that was spilled, what could Zhao Sheng do?
So Zhao Sheng could only say: "Mao Sui, I have lent you to Yu Qing to envoy Chu State, you must assist Yu Qing well, don't fall into the prestige of me and Zhao State." ”
Mao Sui was also stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart I am here to let you take me, why did you still lend me to others?
But the lord has an order, and a doorman like Mao Sui naturally has to obey, so Mao Sui can only say: "The minister receives the order." ”
Looking at the figure of Mao Sui leaving, Zhao Sheng's heart became even more irritable.
Yu Xin is the minister of the Buyi faction, and from the standpoint, he is Zhao Sheng's political enemy, so the more capable Mao Sui can help Yu Xin, the more unhappy Zhao Sheng's heart is.
And now Zhao Dan asked Zhao Sheng of the Gongzu faction to envoy Wei State, and Yu Xin of the Buyi faction to envoy Chu State, it is estimated that the two factions will also have the meaning of letting the two factions try to compete in the diplomatic arena.
From this standpoint, Zhao Sheng hopes that Mao Sui is a waste, and the more wasteful, the better.
But this Mao Sui, who was hand-picked by Zhao Dan, looks like he really has some ability.
Zhao Sheng couldn't help but muttered again: "How did the king know about this hair?" ”
At this moment, a middle-aged lady with a gorgeous face appeared beside Zhao Sheng and said warmly: "Your Majesty, it's time to eat." ”
This middle-aged lady is Zhao Sheng's wife, that is, the siblings of Wei Wangyu and Wei Gongzi Xinling Jun Wuji.
Zhao Sheng glanced at his eldest wife, and suddenly remembered Zhao Dan's advice at the meeting today.
"If Pingyuan Jun sends an envoy to the Wei State, the widow hopes that Mrs. Jun Hou can write a letter to the Emperor of Ling, and the letter must be fierce and exaggerate the danger of my Zhao State, otherwise the Jun Hou may return in vain."
Zhao Sheng frowned subconsciously.
Madame obviously saw that something was wrong with Zhao Sheng, and said gently: "Does the king have something on his mind?" ”
Zhao Sheng came back to his senses, and a reluctant smile appeared on his face: "Madame is too worried." ”
After saying this, Zhao Sheng stood up and walked to the dining hall with his wife.
As for Zhao Dan's previous advice, Zhao Sheng didn't want to follow it.
This is a major national event, I'm afraid that Zhao Sheng's horse won't be able to do it? It is a to ask a woman to write a letter to intercede!
